The EC7 is based on an entirely new Emgrand platform developed according to a first-class internationally-derived development process. The entire vehicle meets multiple European safety and environmental standards, and is the first and only Chinese vehicle produced by a stand-alone manufacturer to score a full-house of 5 stars in the Chinese NCAP crash tests, and 4 in its very first attempt at the stringent Euro-NCAP collision tests.
Offering outstanding value for money at an unmatched price, the new EC7 is launched with a powerful 1.8-litre 4-cylinder DOHC engine matched to a 5-speed manual transmission with a 6-speed auto version (not yet available for right-hand drive models) following later this year in various international markets.
The new EC7 is a C-segment sedan aimed at families looking for an economic short, medium and long distance vehicle, professionals who need a bigger car offering great value, representatives who spend a lot of time – and distance – behind the wheel, as well as fleet operators and private buyers who do not want to break the bank .

The EC7 is equipped with front and rear energy absorbing bumpers. These bumpers are constructed from a composite foam material and are designed to absorb the impact force in the event of a collision.
FOG LIGHTS
All EC7 models come equipped with front and rear fog lights. These provide extra visibility during dangerous situations such as mist,snow and/or fog.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
The EC7 is equipped with high-intensity headlights. These headlights feature an automatic light sensing function, park positioning indicator and a “Follow-Me-Home” function.
ELECTRIC MIRRORS WITH BUILT-IN INDICATOR
The EC7 has built in LED indicator lights on both the side mirrors. All the models come standard with electronically adjustable side mirrors.
THIRD LED BRAKE LIGHT
